    For me I'm not complaining about the standing 8, I'm complaining about the ref getting in Usyk's way a few times while he was battering Fury around the ring. Unless you're going to admin a standing 8 or stop the fight, don't interfere.

    Are you referring to earlier in the 9th round? When exactly do you recall the ref getting in the way of Usyk's onslaught?

    Yep.. I don’t mind the ref called that a KD.
    I’m fully aware of the rope holding a fighter up rule. But it was a dragging slow count I have a huge problem with. It should have been a KO for Usyk.

    On at least 2 occasions while Usyk was going for the kill, the ref reached out and grabbed Usyk like he was gonna step in but didn't. Then a second time when he sent Fury across the ring the ref stepped in his way to impede his onslaught. You didn't see this? He tried to stop his momentum at least twice, then finally separated them and gave the count. Don't get in a man's way when he's working if you're not doing your job.

    that is disgraceful and is a big part of why the sport is rivaling tiddlywinks in popularity. The refs, announcers, and judges blatantly favor one fighter in most every relevant fight.

    He was FELL fully on number of occasion. Everyone with any sense and unbias say that was stolen stoppage from Usyk.

    Go vote some more for your hero Fury and stop lying you are Usyk fan.

    Also learn the rules, the counts is actually second, it's in the rule book. It's says specifically it's 8/10 seconds count. So if ref decide to be 20+ seconds, it's clearly why, aka helping the guy to survive.

    Because it should have been stopped. This is once again giving Fury 20+ seconds count and recovery. The rules are clear. If Fury was able to continue, which he was not, let him recover.

    But you essentially are giving him extra time, where you shouldn't, because this is the rules.

    Going into that, then they should make every count 20+ seconds for every fighter, and we should not have KOs at all, unless they are totally OUT.

    Many people, including other fans of Usyk and even Usyk himself had no problems with the 8 count.

    You wanna talk about being subjective yet you've done nothing but trash Fury and calling on Usyk to retire so AJ can try and catch a fragmented belt. It's sad. They gave us an amazing fight and I hope they run it back.

    Fury was held up by the ropes no ? He was slumping and that's a knockdown

    Usyk is the most humble guy. He barely understand English and can speak of it. And no Usyk team is not happy with the 9th. round. Stop lying. Both Krassyuk, Klimas and Ross Amber said this was a KO, and if the ref decide to give Fury the 8th count it should have been done straight away or wave the fight, so nice try.

    Your boy got beaten and finish in the 9th, and they cheated once again to help him survive. And they won't run it back, as your boy is scared to death.

    Fury isn't my boy I'm just not a blind hater. Usyk is the man in the ring, and in his presser he said "no problem". Deal with it.

    Yeah it's your. Your prediction was Fury win, and you even vote for Fury to win the rematch. You start s*** on Usyk and AJ for quite some time, like someone stole your profile.
    You ain't fooling anyone.

    Usyk just won the Undisputed fight, and he will never complain about anything. Pretty much every big channels that are not UK related or completely biased says the fight should have been stopped and Fury get a long count once again.
    Whole media is talking about it.

    I'm convinced boxing fans don't know the rules. The referee should've actually given Fury a standing count the first time the ropes kept him up, before he kept getting battered by Usyk, but boxing fans insist the referee helped Fury.

    Boxing fans are special.

    Yeah helped him, as he was trying saving Fury from getting a KD and losing the round 10-8. Can some people even use their brain. Also there was quite some time, so after that Usyk could have send Fury into another KD, and most likely the ref has to stop the fight, or the round to be even bigger, aka 10-7.

    Is it that hard for people to use their brain?
